System of Systems Engineering Collaborators Information Exchange: Opportunities and Challenges Related to Mobility in Smart Cities

Systems-of-Systems Opportunities and Challenges Related to Mobility in Smart Cities

Presenter

Mr. Jakob Axelsson, Mälardalen University

Abstract

Urbanization is one of the major current trends in society. Cities around the world are looking into “smart” solutions based on information and communication technology to deal with the challenges that result from this development. Mobility is one of the most important areas to address, and system-of-systems solutions where vehicles and infrastructure are connected have a potential to improve urban transportation in many aspects. In this talk, potential applications for systems-of-systems engineering in urban mobility are described, and main components to be considered are elicited, including principal stakeholders, their needs, types of solutions, and challenges. The talk will also give an overview of an ongoing Swedish research program on systems-of-systems for smart urban mobility.
